Meeting with gun safety groups? The NRA does more for gun safety than any other organization out there.

“Among the gun-advocacy groups attending the meeting Wednesday were Arizona for Gun Safety, the Brady Campaign to End Gun Violence, the Campaign to Keep Guns off Campus and Mayors Against Illegal Guns.

The vice president will hear from the other side of the gun-control debate Thursday, when the nation’s leading gun lobby meets face to face with his task force in what could be a testy session. The National Rifle Association confirmed to Fox News that the group accepted an invitation to meet with the task force, which is running up against an end-of-the-month deadline to produce a set of proposals.”

I’m confused. How is the NRA, a gun owner lobby, considered the other side of “gun-advocacy”? Why are journalists not required to understand the language in which they work.
